I'm used to working in Java with Eclipse.

My usual flow is: object. CTRL+SPACE + ENTER which autocompletes the method and places the correct curly brackets & method inputs in there:

object.myMethod();
or
object.myMethod(input1,input2);

I'm trying to get the same behaviour with VS in C#. I can get the method, but it doesn't want to include the final brackets for some reason.

I get:

object.myMethod

Is there a way to enable this?

When doing autocomplete, instead of just hitting ENTER, you can instead press the key combination "Shift + (" and it will autocomplete and add () all in the one.
